Blue Boxers

Late Friday Night
Just turned nineteen
That sweet spot in time
The four years 
Beer and wine drinking age
Dropped just in time
Now legal for a change
My now erstwhile crew
Would roll into Scatscio's 
For a pitcher or two
Plus a marginal pizza 
That left the roof of your mouth
Burned but satisfied
Hugo would tickle the ivories
In this ersatz piano lounge 
My introduction to
Adult late night entertainment
Just about the time  
This song appeared
On the FM radio playlist

Scatscio's was in
A large frame house 
Transformed into 
A neighborhood lounge
I don't remember
Which of our crew discovered
The pair of blue boxer shorts
Under a square piece 
Of  loose particle board 
Lying on the floor
In the upstairs terlet

But for many years 
When going to hear Hugo
For a quaff and a munch
One of us was compelled
To do the underpants check
By lifting the board
For a peek and a giggle
The blue boxers stayed
Silent and persistently present
Under a particle board
Lying on the floor
Of the piano lounge terlet

RDP Friday! Piano!
